Laser processing systems for processing one or more materials or combination of materials with composite laser energy and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, for example, a laser processing system includes one or more laser sources that provide a first plurality of first laser beams and preconditioning optics that combine the first laser beams into a first composite beam. The system also includes recomposition optics that separate the first composite beam into second plurality of second laser beams and combine the second laser beams into a second composite beam. The system further includes beam modification optics that modify wave fronts of one or more of the individual second laser beams such that the second composite beam has one or more beam characteristics that are modified relative to corresponding beam characteristics of the first composite beam. For example, the second laser beams of the second composite beam can focus at a common focusing plane.

Systems and methods for laser processing using a modified laser beam having a non-Gaussian energy distribution are described herein. In some embodiments, a laser processing system includes a laser source that outputs a laser beam having a Gaussian energy distribution, and a beam modifier positioned in a path of the output beam. The beam modifier controllably modifies the Gaussian energy distribution of the output laser beam along at least one axis perpendicular to the beam's axis of travel. In various embodiments, the laser processing system includes a beam delivery sub-subsystem that operates in a raster mode. In such embodiments, the subsystem can raster the modified beam across a material to form raster lines for transferring an image or pattern to the material.
